Tour fails WP:NCONCERT. Sourced to primary source of band's own website, a fansite, and a long list of poor and random Youtube videos by fans. Escape Orbit (Talk) 16:39, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Concur with nomination statement. Article fails notability in accordance with WP:NCONCERT. Additionally, the 100+ YT videos violate copyright protection as an unauthorized recording of creative works. Our policy requires that we refrain from linking to websites which present content in violation of copyright protection. See WP:ELNEVER. Cindy  ( talk to me ) 19:39, 10 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: The article has no reliable sources to verify notability, all of the references are from Simple Mind's site, simpleminds, org, a fansite and YouTube videos that fail WP:EXTERNAL, which User:Lurulu has edit warred to keep in despite an ongoing discussion on their inclusion. Therefore the article fails Notability (music). Aspects (talk) 01:57, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm unable to find sufficient evidence in independent reliable sources that this concert tour satisfies either WP:GNG or WP:NCONCERT.  Gongshow  Talk 03:15, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as lacking in depth coverage in reliable sources, as required by WP:GNG. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:53, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
